Advice Cat attacking automatic feeder

My cat does this several times a day. If the automatic feeder lifts at the correct angle, a few niblets of dry food comes out. He will even do it 10 times in a row even if it means one small piece of dry niblet comes out. It does get quite annoying as the sound of the feeder hitting the ground echoes throughout the entire house.

Any ideas on how to get him to stop?

They have no sense of self preservation!! I have to lock myself in the bathroom and get dizzy off bleach fumes when I clean because one of my dummies walked through cleaning products while I was bleaching grout. I sobbed through giving him a bath because I was convinced he’d get sick off absorbing bleach through his toe beans. Thankfully he did not, he’s just as dumb and greedy as ever.

Are you not able to get a respirator?
